The Picotte Recital Hall

The panels on the walls and ceiling are designed by Peter D'Antonio, a physicist and world leader in acoustical design with more than 60 patents. These panels are seen in concert halls worldwide, but have rarely before been installed in educational institutions.

A pattern of holes on the recital seat bottoms are filled with an acoustical material that absorbs sound, ensuring the same quality and volume whether there are four or 400 people in the hall.

Acoustical properties of the recital hall doors: each door is five inches thick and weighs 380 pounds
